It's not necessarily that people didn't believe me, but...

I actually have a heart condition, Wolff-Parkinson White syndrome. It's an arrythmia disorder, so sometimes I'll have palpitations and a rapid heartbeat, even when I'm just sitting around. Other doctors had always chalked it up to anxiety, but finally my current PCP did and EKG (really the only way to diagnose it), and found that something was wrong. Right now things aren't too bad; every once in a while I'll have problems, but nothing will be done at this point. In the future if it gets to be a quality of life issue, they would do an ablation, but that's not an option that either I or my doctors want to consider right now.

Have some other stuff going on healthwise, but I'm not ready to divulge my entire health history.
